kinda dumped a shit ton of videos


but damn have i been making progress in the gym

your front squat and sumo are mechanically a lot better but your back squat needs fixing.

dont use that weird cross arm front rack position though its garbage. learn a proper rack

not sure why but front squat has always been something my body agree's with, in time i want to front squat 405

it's been a long road getting out of this mobility hole, but i'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel


Idk if i'll be changing up the way i hold a front squat, i seriously lack the mobility to do that, but again maybe its something i should really work towards

been loving this Duffalo bar

Don’t change i it, there’s no point. Cloudcucker is an actual moron

the front squat is permissive to greater knee flexion per hip flexion because of the better bar position. when you restrict the hip and spine to less vertical orientations as in the back squat you cant get such a full range of motion without flexing at the lumbar spine. its just more difficult to do properly because you have to be more strict with depth to maintain a neutral spine

I’m most impressed with the shirt.

Just saying 👍👍

the real front rack position is far more stable than your front squat position is. your shoulder (GH) joint is held together by a set of 3 ligaments that attach the humerus to the scapula and when you externally rotate the arm (as in a proper front rack) those ligaments corkscrew, pulling the humeral head into maximum congruency with the glenoid fossa of the scap. this approximation of max congruency eliminates sliding and gliding motion at the joint (which contributes to impinging motion in some cases) and in combination with rotational motion and weight can sometimes lead to labral tear. the most stable position of the shoulder in flexion is to be externally rotated and by crossing your arms like that youre not only internally rotating and destabilizing the GH joint but youre also protracting the scapulae, putting upper back into a compromised position to maintain scapular position, thoracic spine position, and youre pushing CG further away from you which can make you more prone to tipping forward in the front squat. by far your strongest position would be to learn a proper front rack. it takes maybe 2 front squat sessions to get over the wrist stretching sensations
